Hi Sally, I can point you to a few resources that explain what we are working on, what we plan to work on, and how the architecture is put together. All possible development directions versus what is prioritized because it fits the larger project goals will be hopefully be clearer after a review. Galaxy development is highly collaborative and we do our best to be transparent. Anyone can freely publish work within our framework to share with others also using Galaxy (tools in the Tool Shed, data/analysis/workflows/etc. on the public server). Looks for changes across time for workflows in releases here: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/DevNewsBriefs Read our publications about architecture here: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/CitingGalaxy Trello cards for ideas, in-progress, recently completed work (all areas): https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Issues Code documentation: http://galaxy-dist.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Take care, Jen Galaxy team On 4/30/14 2:29 PM, Golestan (Sally) Radwan wrote:

Hi All,

I am completely new to galaxy but part of my PhD research is to look at portability issues of workloads across different versions. I've tried looking at the wiki and the various pieces of documentation but no luck so far. Can someone please point me to a document or tutorial that explains how this is currently done in Galaxy and also any issues/gaps that may be worth addressing?

I am also generally interested in how Galaxy works "under the hood". Is there a document that explains the architecture and design?

Many thanks in advance!

Sally.
